San Diego Champagne Classic
This past weekend brought another tourney to put in the books for the Stanford Card. The San Diego sun spoke of high intensity play as it beat down on the Stanford players. All received its kiss, along with bountiful snacks provided by Team Moms (first edition and version 2: San Diego). No Gatorade G2 was consumed. 'Protein Bars' which have contents extremely similar to candy bars were had by one.
A summery of game play from Jennifer Cooperrider:
We lost the first game 41-5 to the Last Call (Beantown). We won the second against Coast, and lost the third to Belmont Shore, but we were still able to avoid the loser's bracket, since we won a game. The fourth game, which we played against the San Diego club team, was the first game of bracket play in the tournament. It was fast-paced game, full of constant competition for the but, but we won, and this allowed us to continue on to play on Sunday. We were again matched up against Beantown/Last Call, which we excited for, since it was going to allow the team to show growth over the course of the weekend. We lost this game to knock us out of the tournament, BUT the score was only 17-5, and Beantown's last try came in the last minute. Griff called this performance the "performance of a lifetime" (wow...right?), and we showed significant progress in our intensity and attacking the gain line. Bisqit gave a slightly more accurate description of the match as the "performance of the season so far."
But significant progress was made!
Next week brings our last league game of the season vs. Chico. After that, Stanford will play a spring break match versus Dartmouth and then continue on to the PacCoast Playoffs!
